Career

edit

Formed in Vasco da Gama's youth categories, Caetano was, for most of the period, a substitute for Carlos Germano and Márcio Cazorla. Among his 78 appearances for the club, his most memorable match was on 6 June 1978, against Grêmio in São Januário. He played for other clubs, such as Mamoré in the 2002 Copa Sul-Minas, but without ever establishing himself. He ended his career at Parseh Tehran in 2010.[1][2][3][4]
